DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are microelectronic devices that are designed with high frequency communication devices having integrated antennas in a package fabric. In the following description, various aspects of the illustrative implementations will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative implementations. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order to not obscure the illustrative implementations.

Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention, however, the order of description should not be construed to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.

For high frequency (e.g., 5G, WiGig) wireless applications of millimeter (e.g., 1-10 mm, any mm wave) wave communication systems, the designed RF circuits (e.g., low-noise amplifiers, mixers, power amplifiers, etc.) are in need of high quality passive matching networks, in order to accommodate the transmission of pre-defined frequency bands where the communication takes place as well as in need of high efficiency power amplifiers, and low loss, power combiners/switches, etc. CMOS technology for greater than 15 GHz operation can be utilized, but with decreased power amplifier efficiencies and with low quality factor passives, mainly due to the typically lossy silicon substrate employed. This results not only in a lower system performance, but also in increased thermal requirements due to the excess heat generated. In one example, the high thermal dissipation is due to the fact that multiple power amplifiers have to be utilized in a phased array arrangement to achieve the desired output power and transmission range. This will be even more stringent on 5G systems as the typical transmission range for cellular network (e.g., 4G, LTE, LTE-Adv) is several times larger than that required for connectivity (e.g., WiFi, WiGig).

The present design efficiently partitions high frequency components (e.g., 5G transceiver) and utilizes non-CMOS technologies (e.g., non-silicon substrates) for critical parts of a communication system (e.g., GaAs, GaN, Passives-on-Glass, etc.). With an optimal system partitioning, critical parts requiring high efficiencies and high quality factors can be fabricated on another technology (e.g., compound semiconductor materials, group III-V materials). These parts might be either on device level (e.g., transistors on GaN/GaAs) or on circuit level (e.g., III-V die integrating a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier, etc.). The full communication system will be formed in a package-fabric manner, as discussed in embodiments of this invention.

The present design technology allows co-integrating dies and/or devices that are fabricated on different technologies and/or substrates on the same package for performance enhancement and relaxation of thermal requirements. The package might include antenna units for communication with other wireless systems.

In one embodiment, the present design is a 5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) architecture having non-CMOS based transceiver building blocks (such as group III-V based devices or dies) that are co-integrated on the same package with low frequency circuits and integrated passive devices (IPDs) for performance enhancement and thermal requirements relaxation. In this arrangement, each component is assembled directly in the package. The package may have antennas directly integrated onto it. The 5G architecture operates at a high frequency (e.g., at least 20 GHz, at least 25 GHz, at least 28 GHz, at least 30 GHz, etc.) and may also have approximately 1-50 gigabits per second (Gbps) connections to end points. In another example, the present design operates at lower frequencies (e.g., at least 4 GHz, approximately 4 GHz).

For both mobile and base station units operating in a 5G architecture, phased array antennas will be critical when low power RF CMOS components are used from the 5G communications. For 5G phased array systems operating at 60 GHz and higher, the antenna sizes are relatively small making the antennas desirable candidates for on-package integration. For phased array systems operating towards a lower end of the mm-wave spectrum (e.g., 24-62 GHz), the antenna size increases significantly which makes on-package integration expensive. For example, the integration of a 2×4 element planar array antenna unit operating at 30 GHz requires at least 17×27 mm of area without including any dummy antenna element required for load matching as well as omnidirectional antennas used for handshake between transmit and receive modules.

Assembly of a transceiver die(s) directly on a substrate (e.g., printed circuit board (PCB)) presents an opportunity for cost savings of a package cost. However, the die bump routing pitch must be increased, which causes an increase in die size and die cost, and a high density routing must also be enabled on the PCB, which increases PCB cost. Thus, the present design provides a cost effective solution for wireless modules operating towards a lower end of the mm-wave spectrum (e.g., 24-62 GHz). The transceiver die(s) can be pre-packaged on a redistribution package and then attached to a substrate (e.g., PCB) with integrated antennas.

In one example, the present design architecture includes pre-packaging at least one 5G transceiver die using a minimum number of metal layers (e.g., fanout with controlled impedance lines) of the redistribution package. The pre-packaged die(s) are then attached to a substrate (e.g., PCB) that has on-board integrated antennas. This allows the substrate (e.g., PCB) to be designed without high density interconnect (HDI) rules on the PCB.

The design of this 5G architecture provides integration of mm-wave antennas on a PCB which is more cost-effective than integration on a package. A low layer count (e.g., 1 metal layer, 2 metal layers, etc.) on the redistribution package minimizes the cost. Integration of a redistribution package inside a cavity of the substrate (e.g., PCB) provides an opportunity for shielding using in substrate vias (e.g., in board vias). High gain omnidirectional radiation can be achieved by integrating antennas in thick layer boards in which thicker layers enable larger bandwidths as well.

FIG. 1 illustrates co-integrating different components in a microelectronic device (e.g., a package fabric architecture) having a substrate with an integrated antenna unit in accordance with one embodiment. The microelectronic device 100 (e.g., a package fabric architecture 100) includes a substrate 150 (e.g., board, printed circuit board (PCB) 150, mother board ISO) having an integrated antenna unit 192, a die 120, and a redistribution package 130. The substrate 150 includes conductive layers 152-159 and 151. In one example, the conductive layers 152-159 form one or more phased antenna arrays and the conductive layer 151 can be a ground plane and routing layers. The at least one die 120 includes communications circuitry or devices (e.g., at least one transceiver unit, at least one baseband unit, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, CMOS circuitry having at least one baseband unit and at least one transceiver unit formed with a silicon based substrate. CMOS die, devices formed with compound semiconductor materials, group III-V materials, gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, switches, mixers, etc.). The package 130 provides electrical connections between components of the substrate 150 (e.g., PCB) and components of the die 120. The package 130 may also embed potential passives for the die 120 (or other structures, e.g., for shielding). The substrate 150, package 130, and die 120 can have different layer counts, thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions in comparison to the thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions illustrated in FIG. 1. The substrate 150 is generally a multilayer substrate having at least 2 layers. In one example, the substrate 150 has at least 20 layers.

The die 120 is attached to the package 130 using solder balls or bumps 166-171 and the package 130 is attached to the substrate 150 using solder balls or bumps 160-165. In some embodiments connectors or pins may be used to connect electrically the die 120 to the PCB 150. Similarly metal to metal bumps may be used in place of solder bumps.

The package 130 connects components having different routing pitches. In one example, the die 120 has a routing pitch of approximately 100-200 microns and the substrate (or PCB) 150 has a routing pitch of a few hundred microns (e.g., at least 200 microns, etc.). The antennas (e.g., antennas 152-159) are designed to operate as a phased array. Different techniques including flip-chipping, embedding, wire bonding, and overmolding can be used to form the package 130. Controlled impedance lines having a high level of cross talk isolation may also be implemented with the redistribution package 130. Antenna signals routing through the package 130 can have a shortest available routing distance.

In one example, the present design can be extending into a system in a package by integrating other components (e.g., crystal, connectors, IPDs, etc) or even packages directly on the PCB 150.

In one example, components of the substrate 150 (or PCB 150) which primarily dominate a packaging area are partitioned in a separate lower cost and lower circuit density substrate 150 in comparison to other components (e.g., package 130) which may have high density interconnect (HDI) and impedance controlled interconnect. The substrate 150 may be formed with low temperature co-fired ceramic materials, liquid crystal polymers, organic materials (e.g., flame retardant 4 (FR4), resin-filled polymers, prepreg, polymers, silica-filled polymers. etc.), glass, undoped silicon, etc. The substrate 150 is designed without HDI PCB technologies including blind and/or buried via processes and possibly microvias with a higher circuit density than traditional PCBs to save cost. En this manner, an area of the redistribution package 130 without antenna components is reduced to reduce cost in comparison to a planar structure that includes antenna components. The redistribution package 130 may be formed with any materials (e.g., organic materials, laminate substrates, materials for formation of CPUs, etc) that are designed for high frequency designs having desirable high frequency characteristics (e.g., substrate loss, dielectric constant). The die 120 may include complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry (e.g., CMOS circuitry having at least one baseband unit and at least one transceiver unit formed with a silicon based substrate, CMOS die) or devices formed with compound semiconductor materials (e.g., group III-V materials, gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), compound semiconductor die, etc.). The substrate 150 includes one or more conductive layers.

Additional components such as traditional surface-mount passives may also be mounted to the redistribution package 130. In addition, the die 120 of FIG. 1 may be overmolded and covered with an external shield. The mold material may be a low loss nonconductive dielectric material and the shielding may be made out of a conductive material.

In another embodiment, any of the devices or components can be coupled to each other.

FIG. 2 illustrates co-integrating different components in a microelectronic device (e.g., a package fabric architecture) having a substrate with an integrated antenna unit and a die attached in a cavity of the substrate in accordance with one embodiment. The microelectronic device 200 (e.g., a package fabric architecture 200) includes a substrate 250 (e.g., board, printed circuit board (PCB) 250, mother board 250) having an integrated antenna unit 292, a die 220, and a redistribution package 230. The substrate 250 includes conductive layers 252-256 and 251. In one example, the conductive layers 252-256 form one or more phased antenna arrays and the conductive layer 251 can be a ground plane and routing layers. The at least one die 220 includes communications circuitry or devices (e.g., at least one transceiver unit, at least one baseband unit, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, CMOS circuitry having at least one baseband unit and at least one transceiver unit formed with a silicon based substrate, CMOS die, devices formed with compound semiconductor materials, group III-V materials, gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, switches, mixers, etc.). The package 230 provides electrical connections between components of the substrate 250 (e.g., PCB) and components of the die 220. The package 230 may also embed potential passives for the die 220 (or other structures, e.g., for shielding). The substrate 250, package 230, and die 220 can have different layer counts, thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions in comparison to the thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions illustrated in FIG. 2. The substrate 250 is generally a multilayer substrate having at least 2 layers. In one example, the substrate 250 has at least 20 layers.

The die 220 is attached to the package 230 using solder balls or bumps 267-273 and the package 230 is attached to the substrate 250 and embedded within the cavity 282 of the substrate 250 using solder balls or bumps 260-266. In some embodiments connectors or pins may be used to connect electrically the die 220 to the PCB 250. Similarly metal to metal bumps may be used in place of solder bumps.

The package 230 connects components having different routing pitches. In one example, the die 220 has a routing pitch of approximately 100-200 microns, a thickness of 50-150 microns, and length and width dimensions of 5-7 millimeters×5-7 millimeters. The package 230 has a thickness of approximately 50-150 microns and length and width dimensions of 7-11 millimeters×7-11 millimeters. The substrate (or PCB) 250 has a routing pitch of a few hundred microns (e.g., at least 200 microns, etc.) and a recess cavity depth 280 of 200-500 microns in one example. The antennas (e.g., antennas 252-256) are designed to operate as a phased array. Different techniques including flip-chipping, embedding, wire bonding, and overmolding can be used to form the package 230. Controlled impedance lines having a high level of cross talk isolation may also be implemented with the redistribution package 230. Antenna signals routing through the package 230 can have a shortest available routing distance. The package 230 may include IPDs and can communicate signals at a high data rate (e.g., at least 1 Gb/second, etc.).

In another example, the die 220 and package 230 are mounted to a back side of the PCB 250 inside a cavity 282. A single package with one or multiple dies or multiple packages may be embedded in one or more cavities. In one embodiment, a first transceiver die is used to drive a vertical polarization of the antenna unit 292 and a second transceiver die is used to drive a horizontal polarization. In some embodiments, a die may be used to drive multiple polarizations.

In one example, the present design can be extending into a system in a package by integrating other components (e.g., crystal, connectors, IPDs, etc) or even packages directly on the PCB 250.

In one example, components of the substrate 250 (or PCB 250) which primarily dominate a packaging area are partitioned in a separate lower cost and lower circuit density substrate 250 in comparison to the package 230, which may have high density interconnect (HDI) and impedance controlled interconnect. The substrate 250 may be formed with low temperature co-fired ceramic materials, liquid crystal polymers, organic materials (e.g., flame retardant 4 (FR4), resin-filled polymers, prepreg, polymers, silica-filled polymers, etc.), glass, undoped silicon, etc. The substrate 250 is designed without HDI PCB technologies to save cost.

The substrate 250 includes one or more conductive layers and may optionally include baseband circuitry.

Additional components such as traditional surface-mount passives may also be mounted to the redistribution package 230. In addition, the die 220 of FIG. 2 may be overmolded and covered with an external shield. The mold material may be a low loss nonconductive dielectric material and the shielding may be made out of a conductive material.

The substrate 550 includes conductive layers 551-556. In one example, a side radiating antenna 594 includes the conductive layer 551, a bore sight antenna 592 includes the conductive layers 552-555, and a side radiating antenna includes a conductive layer 556. A conductive layer 555 can be a ground plane and routing layers. In one example, the side radiating antennas radiate communications in a horizontal direction with respect to the microelectronic device 500 and the bore sight antenna 592 radiate communications in a vertical direction with respect to the microelectronic device 500. The side radiating antennas and bore sight antenna can be applied to any of the other embodiments and figures of the present disclosure.

The die 520 includes communications circuitry or devices (e.g., at least one transceiver unit, at least one baseband unit, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, CMOS circuitry having at least one baseband unit and at least one transceiver unit formed with a silicon based substrate, CMOS die, devices formed with compound semiconductor materials, group III-V materials, gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, switches, mixers, etc.). The package 530 provides electrical connections between components of the substrate 550 (e.g., PCB) and components of the die 520. The package 530 may also embed potential passives for the die 520 (or other structures, e.g., for shielding). The substrate 550, package 530, and die 520 can have different layer counts, thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions in comparison to the thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions illustrated in FIG. 5. The substrate 550 is generally a multilayer substrate having at least 2 layers. In one example, the substrate 550 has at least 20 layers

The die 520 is attached to the package 530 using solder balls or bumps 567-573 and the package 530 is attached to the substrate 550 and embedded within the cavity 580 of the substrate 550 using solder balls or bumps 560-566. In some embodiments connectors or pins may be used to connect electrically the die 520 to the PCB 550. Similarly metal to metal bumps may be used in place of solder bumps.

The package 530 connects components having different routing pitches. In one example, the die 520 has a routing pitch of approximately 100-200 microns, a thickness of 50-150 microns, and length and width dimensions of 3-7 millimeters×3-7 millimeters. The package 530 has a thickness of approximately 50-150 microns and length and width dimensions of 4-6 millimeters×4-6 millimeters. The substrate (or PCB) 550 has a routing pitch of a few hundred microns (e.g., at least 200 microns, etc.) and a recess cavity depth 581 of 200-500 microns in one example. Different techniques including flip-chipping, embedding, wire bonding, and overmolding can be used to form the packages 530. Controlled impedance lines having a high level of cross talk isolation may also be implemented with the redistribution package 530. Antenna signals to be routed through the packages can have a shortest available routing distance. The packages may include IPDs and can communicate signals at a high data rate (e.g., at least 1 Gb/second, etc.).

In one example, the present design can be extending into a system in a package by integrating other components (e.g., crystal, connectors, IPDs, etc) or even packages directly on the PCB 550.

In one example, components of the substrate 550 (or PCB 550) which primarily dominate a packaging area are partitioned in a separate lower cost and lower circuit density substrate 550 in comparison to the package 530, which may have high density interconnect (HDI) and impedance controlled interconnect. The substrate 550 may be formed with low temperature co-fired ceramic materials, liquid crystal polymers, organic materials (e.g., flame retardant 4 (FR4), resin-filled polymers, prepreg, polymers, silica-filled polymers, etc.), glass, undoped silicon, etc. The substrate 550 is designed without HDI PCB technologies to save cost. In this manner, an area of the die 520 without antenna components is reduced to reduce cost in comparison to a planar structure that includes antenna components.

Additional components such as traditional surface-mount passives may also be mounted to the package 530. In addition, the die 520 of FIG. 5 may be overmolded and covered with an external shield. The mold material may be a low loss nonconductive dielectric material and the shielding may be made out of a conductive material.

In another embodiment, any of the devices or components can be coupled to each other.

FIG. 6 illustrates co-integrating different components in a microelectronic device (e.g., a package fabric architecture) having a substrate with an integrated antenna unit and multiple dies attached in multiple cavities of the substrate in accordance with one embodiment. The microelectronic device 600 (e.g., a package fabric architecture 600) includes a substrate 650 (e.g., board, printed circuit board (PCB) 650, mother board 650) having an integrated antenna unit 690, dies 620 and 622, and redistribution packages 630 and 632. The substrate 650 includes conductive layers 652-656 and 651. In one example, the conductive layers 652-656 form one or more phased antenna arrays and the conductive layer 651 can be a ground plane and routing layers. The conductive connections 670-672 can be a ground plane for RF shielding (e.g., Faraday cage) of the enclosed dies 620 and 622. The dies 620 and 622 each include communications circuitry or devices (e.g., at least one transceiver unit, at least one baseband unit, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry, CMOS circuitry having at least one baseband unit and at least one transceiver unit formed with a silicon based substrate, CMOS die, devices formed with compound semiconductor materials, group III-V materials, gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, switches, mixers, etc.). The packages 630 and 632 provide electrical connections between components of the substrate 650 (e.g., PCB) and components of the dies 620 and 622. The packages 630 and 632 may also embed potential passives for the dies 620 and 622 (or other structures, e.g., for shielding). The substrate 650, packages 630 and 632, and dies 620 and 622 can have different layer counts, thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions in comparison to the thicknesses, lengths, and width dimensions illustrated in FIG. 6. The substrate 650 is generally a multilayer substrate having at least 2 layers. In one example, the substrate 650 has at least 20 layers

The die 620 is attached to the package 630 using solder balls or bumps 608-614 and the package 630 is attached to the substrate 650 and embedded within the cavity 680 of the substrate 650 using solder balls or bumps 601-607. In some embodiments connectors or pins may be used to connect electrically the die 620 to the PCB 650. Similarly metal to metal bumps may be used in place of solder bumps.

The die 622 is attached to the package 632 using solder balls or bumps 641-647 and the package 632 is attached to the substrate 650 and embedded within the cavity 682 of the substrate 650 using solder balls or bumps 634-640.

The packages 630 and 632 connect components having different routing pitches. In one example, the dies 620 and 622 have a routing pitch of approximately 100-200 microns, a thickness of 50-150 microns, and length and width dimensions of 3-7 millimeters×3-7 millimeters. The packages 630 and 632 have a thickness of approximately 50-150 microns and length and width dimensions of 4-6 millimeters×4-6 millimeters. The substrate (or PCB) 650 has a routine pitch of a few hundred microns (e.g., at least 200 microns, etc.) and a recess cavity depth 681 of 200-500 microns in one example. The antennas (e.g., antennas 652-656) are designed to operate as a phased array. Different techniques including flip-chipping, embedding, wire bonding, and overmolding can be used to form the packages 630 and 632. Controlled impedance lines having a high level of cross talk isolation may also be implemented with the redistribution packages 630 and 632. Antenna signals routing through the packages can have a shortest available routing distance. The packages may include IPDs and can communicate signals at a high data rate (e.g., at least 1 Gb/second, etc.).

In one embodiment, a first transceiver die is used to drive a vertical polarization of the antenna unit 692 and a second transceiver die is used to drive a horizontal polarization of the antenna unit 692. In some embodiments, a die may be used to drive multiple polarizations

In one example, the present design can be extending into a system in a package by integrating other components (e.g., crystal, connectors, IPDs, etc) or even packages directly on the PCB 650.

In one example, components of the substrate 650 (or PCB 650) which primarily dominate a packaging area are partitioned in a separate lower cost and lower circuit density substrate 650 in comparison to the packages 630 and 632, which may have high density interconnect (HDI) and impedance controlled interconnect. The substrate 650 may be formed with low temperature co-fired ceramic materials, liquid crystal polymers, organic materials (e.g., flame retardant 4 (FR4), resin-filled polymers, prepreg, polymers, silica-filled polymers, etc.), glass, undoped silicon, etc. The substrate 650 is designed without HDI PCB technologies to save cost. In this manner, an area of the packages 630 and 632 without antenna components is reduced to reduce cost in comparison to a planar structure that includes antenna components.

Additional components such as traditional surface-mount passives may also be mounted to the packages 630 and 632. In addition, the dies 620 and 622 of FIG. 6 may be overmolded and covered with an external shield. The mold material may be a low loss nonconductive dielectric material and the shielding may be made out of a conductive material.

In one example, a thermal interface material 621 is applied to a surface of the die 620 and this thermal interface material is coupled to a heat sink 623 in order to cool the die 620. The thermal interface material is thermal conductive to cool the die 620 without being electrically conductive. A heat sink 624 having optional fins is coupled to the die 622 in order to cool the die 622. The thermal interface material, heat sinks, and connections 670-672 can be applied to any of the other embodiments and figures of the present disclosure.

In another embodiment, any of the devices or components can be coupled to each other.

It will be appreciated that, in a system on a chip embodiment, the die may include a processor, memory, communications circuitry and the like. Though a single die is illustrated, there may be none, one or several dies included in the same region of the wafer.
